Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents and Escambia County Sheriff’s Office investigators late Friday charged a 57-year-old Florida man with killing his Navy petty officer wife nearly two decades ago.
A civilian employee at the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center on Naval Air Station Pensacola, Gregory Paul Malarik has been booked into Escambia County’s Main Jail in Cantonment, Florida, on a $1 million bond, according to online records.
NCIS told Navy Times that Malarik was arrested in his Riddle Road residence in Cantonment and his arraignment is slated for Monday.
An instructor at the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center, Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Sherri Lynn Malarik was found dead on Sept. 22, 2001, in the family van parked at a Winn-Dixie grocery store along Highway 29 near their Cantonment home.
She was 34 and had suffered two gunshot wounds to the head. A suspect had never been named — until Friday night.
The NCIS Southeast Field Office, the NCIS Cold Case Homicide Unit and Escambia County Sheriff’s Office analyzed the crime scene, pored over witness interviews and sifted through other evidence before they determined that Gregory Malarik shot his wife with a handgun while she sat in the front passenger seat of their van.
